Re the `lp` group assignment, this may be caused by an ordering issue in the udev rules files on your system. I've recently come across somthing similar where a third party's udev rules ended up *before* udev's default rules. The latter clobbered settings from the former. If the libsane.rules file sorts before your system's udev-default rules, try moving it after that file. See the udev manual page for info on how the files are sorted and where they can be found.
